Adjusting the Print Density

saturation or ink density. Discs from different manufacturers absorb ink differently,
so you may need to adjust the density for each type of disc. Follow the instructions
here to print a color saturation check pattern and make adjustments as necessary.
Note: You can also use the Brightness and Contrast settings in Epson Print CD to
adjust color saturation. See page 66 for instructions.
